I have embedded a java applet in a template and have it working successfully, with one exception. In the applet parameters, there are multiple lines of the nature:


It seems that the curly brackets demanded by the applet code are getting "eaten" when I place them in a ubb threads template, and that's breaking the applet. How can I escape the brackets so that my applet works correctly?

Thanks.

embed your code sections with the real {'s within a {literal} and smarty won't eat them up

now if you still have a problem. ie: you need some smarty variables that are passed in to be made available inside that literal.

you do much like you do with php / html combo bombo:

simply do:

{literal}
buncha code
{/literal}
{$smarty_variable_passed_in}
{literal}
more stuff
{/literal}

from your snippet, it doesn't look like you need to have smarty vars in that section, so i'd guess you'd be doing

{literal}
your stuff
{/literal}

AH! A-HA!

{literal} somestuff {/literal} worked beautifully!

Thank you!! My hero. Appreciate your help.

Went to your site to take a look. What is up with the mouse drag and popup SPAM ??? Not a good way to attract or keep new users.

<snicker> Iknew the fix to this one, but sd is too on the ball today

hell, it's once in a blue moon that i zing one in before the GizBot..

i consider this a victory of sorts!!

<anicker> its just cas i'm exhausted from running around all day yesturday

then again, the gizbot is offline at 8a

Huh...? What mouse drag and what spam...?

I have ads on my site -- it helps pay for my dedicated server. Other than that, your language is foreign to me, meester.

Go ahead, enjoy it. It'll keep him on his toes!
